SpinMe Alarm Clock - Guaranteed Wake Up for Deep Sleepers App revisa

Lovely app. Nicely done.

Love it, lfg!

I was recommended by a friend to use this app, but upon downloading and opening it you can’t get past the intro screen. I’ve spent the last 30 minutes restarting the app and spinning endlessly with my phone while it vibrates incessantly. I understand having it be slightly difficult to accomplish goal of getting up, but this is impossible. L

This is what I use when I absolutely NEED to wake up and acknowledge the time.

Waste of money

There is no way to make an alarm the appropriate volume to wake someone up and annoy them enough to get up and spin. This could’ve been so great. Every time it goes off it does so really quietly. And even if you turn it up and try it again, it automatically goes back to its same old low volume. Very frustrating.

i’ve been using this app every morning of my life since 6th grade. it gets me up without fail everyday, and the only way to turn off the alarm is to delete the app. i’ve deleted it a few times in the mornings but for 7 years this app has been more than enough to get me up in the morning. so, after using it for so long i thought it finally deserved a review, and a proper thank you to the people who made it.

This app worked perfectly for over a week and was so good at waking me up but for the past day or so it’s been glitching and refusing to turn off no matter what I do I’ve had to delete and reinstall it several times but the second it’s reinstalled it goes off again and refuses to turn off. I was a big fan but I have to delete it until this is fixed

This app has a great concept to help you wake up. However, I like to sleep with silent mode on, so my alarm never goes off. I followed the directions of keeping the app up, but it would still only vibrate. Also, I tried to add my own music to the sounds, but it would never play. Overall, the execution needs to be better.

UPDATE: For two days in a row, it’s gone off a couple of hours later than the time that was set! This is problematic for two reasons: 1. It didn’t do its job to wake me up. 2. It’s rather embarrassing to have to spin around twice in front of other people at the random time when it goes off. For example, as a college professor in front of a lecture hall full of students! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I double checked to ascertain that I had not simply set the wrong time. Twice, it has gone off at completely random times, hours after the time that was set. If you touch the “support” link, it takes you to a one page site with options for downloading the app—no support. Thus, you’re getting a one star review until both problems are fixed. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've tried EVERYTHING to get myself up on time: alarms that shake the bed or turn on lights, horrible sounds across the room, obstacles between me and the alarm, etc. But I would just lay back down in a sleep-deprived stupor. This works better than any of the other things I've tried. You have to stand up, put your thumbs on designated spots on your screen, and spin around two times. That seems to rouse me to consciousness better. However, it's not foolproof. There's nothing to stop you from laying back down, but I seem to be more capable of making a conscious decision after spinning around, which awakens me a little more than just turning an alarm off. There have also been many mornings when I just let that stupid banjo misic play for over an hour. Sometimes I turn the volume all the way down without spinning and go back to sleep, but it does still nag me by the phone vibrating every minute or so as the app tries to go off....if I hear that, but pillows muffle the vibrating sound. A few days ago, I deleted the app instead of getting up. But it got back at me today when I re-installed it: it made me spin three times, as it went off once for each of the three days that it had been uninstalled! You can choose your own music to play during the spinning part. I use that to remind me what I'm getting up for: my university's fight song for days I teach morning classes there, a hymn on church days, etc. TO THE DEVELOPER: It would be nice to be able to choose the music for the alarm part, not just during the spinning, and to have the option of having a horrible sounding alarm that's harder to sleep through than the current music. I'd pay an extra dollar for that.

This is the only alarm that can actually get me up in the mornings. Would be 5 stars if it was updated and the music feature still worked.

With IOS you have to keep the app open all night or it doesnt work, and even when I did that my phone auto locks and the alarm wont go off! If you take off autolock it would work- but I dont want to do that, and I didnt know I would have to for a 2 dollar app.

Loved it before the last update. Now every time I try to play a video or listen to music on my phone the alarm starts going off. Can’t leave zero stars so one star it is.

The idea of the app is really good. But if you’re anything like me I’m disoriented when I wake up and I get up before the sun is up, aka my room is pretty dark. One morning I went to turn the alarm off, lost my balance and fell and hit my face on my dresser.. I had a bloody nose and my face looked like I had just been jumped. It’s funny now that I think about it but at the time I was in some serious pain. Just something to think about!

This app has never worked for me since I bought it. Not one single time. I set it and get a notice that says for “full functionality the app needs to remain open. Leave it face down and the screen will turn off” There is a countdown for time until wake up that is always frozen about 30 minutes after the last time I saw it. I don’t hit the home or power button when I put it face down, do not disturb is off, and the volume is on, all per the app’s instructions. This is very disappointing, especially considering that it is a paid app and there are so many free alarms. DON’T BUY THIS APP! it is a WASTE of your money.

Good concept but makes me dizzy !

I thought this app would be great for me since I am absolutely not a morning person, but the first day I tried it the alarm didn’t go off. Such a shame. If they actually made it work it could be a very good app, but unfortunately this app needs a lot of updates to get there

Can easily be bypassed. The volume Doesn’t toggle at least not intuitively. You cannot set multiple alarms. Doesn’t do what it claims to help you with.

This is an incredible alarm clock app for anyone who refuses to get up in the morning like I do, but the problem is that this app hasn’t been updated in 3 years. I would love to see some improvements to the app in any way even if it’s a simple UI overhaul.

This is a must have for the ones that struggle to wake up with your everyday alarm clock and snooze every five minutes only to end up waking up hours later. There is no way around this alarm clock. You are guaranteed to wake up. It would be nice if the interface looked a little cleaner. The design looks a little antiquated. If they could add that to the mix it would be a great app that could compete with any other top grossing alarm clock app. I hope they really keep updating it and doesn't become a forgotten app from the developers.

Purchased this today. Have an iPhone 7. Did not have Do Not Disturb on or phone muted. Did three separate tests but the alarm never went off. Complete waste of money!

To complicated and has never worked.

It's amazing how much concentration it takes to get this thing to turn off. I have a really hard time getting outta bed, but w this app on, I don't even get back in bed, Look ma, no snooze! Added after several years of use-having alot of trouble w iPhone 8’s wonky volume control and “DoNotDisturb function” missed second important morning yesterday :(

Snooze should be my middle name because I can sleep through all my alarms and I always hit snooze, faithfully. After doing research and looking over reviews... I was enticed to buy this app. However, this alarm was a waste and made me even think if all the positive reviews were “false advertisement”. I have had this for three days and the only time the alarm went off was when I was already up and clicked on the 100s of notifications from the app. Also, I keep the app open, Bluetooth and do not disturb are off, volume is on full blast and phone is on the charger. I have also tried putting my phone facing up, down, etc. I’m still waiting to hear back from the merchant. If you are a deep sleeper like me, don’t get this app. Sleep cycle works best for me but I needed something to force me out of my bed sometimes and this was not It.

I have a horrible habit of snoozing my alarm and oversleeping. Well I thought this would solve my problems. Nope. I set my alarm to 10:30am and it didn’t go off until 11:17. Pretty sure that’s not helpful!! Oh and the alarm doesn’t make any sound if your phone is on silent and the alarm can be silenced by putting your phone on silent. So no you don’t need to get out of bed

I 100% would have failed my 8am classes in college if it wasn't for this app. If you're a heavy sleeper or have to set a dozen alarms- this app is a MUST have

Downloaded this last year and it worked great up until the alarm wouldn’t actually go off. Deleted it, redownloaded last night. I randomly Woke up at 330am and the app still said I had 4 hours until the alarm goes off at 5:20am. Luckily I woke up earlier to delete this thing! Fix it. It was great when it worked. Now it’s just plain useless.

I started this app a week ago and have been getting up an hour earlier since the day I started. It’s changed my mornings and was so easy!

I had a hard time waking up, so I tried a bunch of apps, but none of them worked. SpinMe has definitely helped out with that though. I only gave it four stars because it is a very simple app. You set your time to wake up, the alarm sound, and that’s it. You can’t change the amount of spins you have to do or anything else. It’s good at what it can do, and that’s about it.

This app doesn’t work. I don’t think it is updated to work with later iOS updates. The alarm never goes off, like it doesn’t have a sense of time. Don’t waste your money.

Three days and the alarm has not gone off for me once. No big deal if it was a free app, but it’s not. Not worth oversleeping, use the Apple alarm, it’s free and it works.

Doesn’t work for me because if the alarm stops ringing if I quit out of the app.

So I set it the alarm on 2 different occasions everything said it was good to go I followed the instructions.But it didn’t go off when I woke up my phone had spin me notifications but no sound no vibration nothing.Worst money I’ve ever spent.

I turned it on to wake me up at 7 am, and I woke up by myself at 8:15 and looked at the alarm which said it still had an hour left to go.

I used to use the default alarms but I would always just shut them off instead of hitting snooze. The fact that this app makes me actually get up and move before shutting off is amazing. I never get back down to go back to sleep and it’s saved me a lot of stress from getting schoolwork done in the morning. Also the tones are great!

I thought I could sleep through anything until this app came around. It's annoying as ever to be honest and makes my roomate so mad since I do end up delaying my wake up but nevertheless, it is the ONLY thing that actually wakes me up for class.

This app has been a morning saver.. until my half asleep self realized I can hit the off button if I time it right. You can also hit the volume button and the alarm will stop for a few seconds. Yes, I'm that bad in the mornings. If the alarm didn't have these glitches, it would be over 5 stars. It gets me out of bed and at least a little awake.

Please update. After IOS 11 the clock no longer synchs up to the phone’s clock. So when my alarm goes off it does not make me spin anymore, it merely shows I have time remaining until it goes off and I can turn the alarm off without spinning. Needs update please!

At first this app worked great for me. It really helped get me out of bed in the mornings, but then one morning when I really didn't want to get up, I found an easy way to stop the alarm after playing around with it a little. Because of this loophole I basically just snooze this app now and it's useless to me. They need to fix the loophole and give more tone options, I hate the sound of this alarm now.

Don’t get this app. It works just fine, but it uses the volume dial instead of the ringer. And whenever the alarm goes off, it’s on the quietest volume setting possible.

This app is great because sometimes there is a problem of me not hearing the alarm and every time it loops it turns the volume up which I thought was really helpful

I have a very hard time waking up, and this app definitely has helped! The only way around spinning to turn off the alarm is deleting the app. It really has made a difference in helping ensure I wake up on time! However, I do have a few complaints with it: As other reviews mention too, this app definitely can make you dizzy when you spin around while tired. Some mornings when I am more tired than others, I get dizzier than usual. I would love a setting to spin one way then the other, which I think would help offset dizziness. Next, although spinning does make me dizzy on some occasions I wish there was an option to increase the number of spins required. That, coupled with opposite direction spinning would definitely make sure I don't go back to bed anyway!

Early morning me really hates this app, but it wakes me up every time! I work second shift and there are some mornings I have to get up very early afterwards, this does the trick! I usually set my regular alarm for a few minutes before, and even knowing this is going to go off soon is enough to get me out of bed.

The app must stay open to work. You can't set the alarm and then return to your home screen or actually turn off your screen. The app will make your screen dark when you set the phone face down but the app is still open and running. The alarm will not work in the background unless your volume is on. Great, great, fantastic idea but I deleted it because I don't want to leave the app running all the time.

I am terrible at waking up to alarms. I won't even wake up, or will press snooze in my sleep. This finally gets me up and going, just in time for entering the workforce. Thank you!

Have an iPhone and this never worked for me even though I followed their instructions on leaving it on and turning it face down :( fail

Loved this on the 6 but having issues on the 7. Sound is always muted even though I have the sound on DND off.

Actually makes me get out of bed. I love that I can't snooze it and it's forces me to move. I know I know. Sounds horrible when you have to crawl out of bed, but it's great if you're like me and you hit snooze for an hour 😂

The concept sounds great, but it doesn't work. I hate to be this person, but this app doesn't work, I keep setting it up but it won't ring. And the fact that it won't work if you have the no disturb on or silent mode, whats the point? You won't be able to sleep anyway. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS.

The only thing I wish is that I couldn't turn it on vibrate.
